This was one of the suggestions from Hence and Tracywhen I asked about Korean restaurants to try. This shop was quite peculiarly situated as it is nestled amongst the many Chinese eateries in the area. Directly opposite of Hotel Mono, if you need any landmark.
Another discovery, was that its actual menu is different from the online menu. When enquired, staff informed that there was a slight change in menu and the online version have not been updated. Hmmph... was disappointed as I wanted to eat the gyeran mari (rolled omelette) which is now not in the menu.
Nevertheless, settled on trying their KBBQ Pork and Beef Set for 2 pax (@$78++), which came with banchans, a small gyeran jjim and a small stew (limited selections).
Jang Won Res Korea Bbq, Johor Bahru
And, of course, I added a beer. This time, trying out Terra which the staff said is the trending brand in Korea. Oooh, looks like Terra is from the same company as Hite.
Wendy was feeling adventurous that day, and she opted for fermented bean paste stew (cheonggukjang). We could smell it when it was brought out and before reaching our table.
The boss was amused and enquired if we had tried this before. We shook our heads and he went on to explain the nutritional and flavour of the dish. Keke.
Jang Won Korean Restaurant, Singapore
There was plenty of ingredients inside, like small tofu cubes, diced onions and radish, spring onions and fermented beans. Tasted like doenjang but hits your nostrils with a somewhat pungent but bearable smell before you take a taste. Hahaaa, healthy wholesome flavours.
The marinated meats at Jang Won was rather mild. Definitely needed the ssamjang or the sesame oil with salt dip. The meat texture was good and the grill could get pretty hot at times hence, be careful not to leave out the meat too long otherwise, it'd char at the bottom.
Another discovery was... the ssamjang sauce and the kimchi, were all not spicy. Not sure why though as I forgot to ask about it.
A La Carte Menu
I enjoyed the pork collar texture more than the pork belly. Overall, it was nice if you don't mind the milder flavours.
And yes, we smelled like BBQ after the meal. While we were there, I spied other tables who ate non-BBQ stuffs like rice meal, or japchae with rice. The japchae smelled really nice. Maybe, next time I'll try that.
